*Youth in Mind*
If things were different from how they are, what would I have done?
Then, this book might help. How? Firstly because it is brief. If
you're in trouble you certainly don't have the leisure time to read
some weighty tome. No. You want something that's easy to read, lays
out the facts, provides a straightforward approach and a plan of
action. Interestingly, to me at least, is the reference to
shouting, that basically this is an ineffective technique when it
comes to parenting. It's quite a common reference in parenting
books and it always amuses me when I read it. 'The authors accept
that this approach is not a quick fix. It is a lot more difficult
than simply losing your temper and yelling, but it is also much
more affective; with patience and determination parental authority
can be restored, and with it the harmony of home and family
life.
*Autisable*
Happy Families... proposes a "non-violent resistance" approach that
avoids escalation while making it quite clear that silence does not
equal acceptance. Through techniques like sit-down strikes and
calling everyone in your child's social circle, the approach allows
parents to confront dangerous behavior without turning up the
emotional volume or allowing the child to be in control. This
process that requires a lot of patience, perseverance, and daring
from parents who may be feeling embattled and overwhelmed
themselves, but this slim guidebook does a good job in presenting
the steps in a simple and straightforward way. You can read it
quickly and start to think about how you'd put it into action.
